Woodhawk
From the foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains comes Calgary, Alberta’s Woodhawk. Masters of straight ahead riff-rock wizardry, the power trio released an EP in 2014 and have continued forging ahead. With time travel tested themes of science fiction, swords and sorcery, the band’s lyrics are born from snowy winters, hot practice spaces and pages of dog eared paperbacks. While the musicianship reinforces recollections of Black Sabbath, modern influences that have helped you smash air drums or highway speed limits are undeniably present. In their brief existence, Guitarist Turner Midzain, bassist Mike Badmington and drummer Kevin Nelson have taken the stage at The Commodore Ballroom, as well as landed slots supporting Elder and The Shrine. Expect their upcoming album Beyond the Sun, recorded with Jesse Gander at Rain City Records, to position them on turn tables and in venues soon. - https://www.facebook.com/WoodhawkRiffs/http://woodhawk.bandcamp.com/

Chron Goblin
Where the desert meets the mountains. That’s the setting both in locale and style that has lead to the “boogie-infused facepunch” class of rock and roll Chron Goblin has proclaimed since their formation in 2009. Swagger and muscle, charm and wit, Chron Goblin pair melody with aggression and groove for a fresh interpretation of heavy. Following the success of 2013's sophomore album Life for the Living and touring in the UK, USA and Canada, the band's third full length album Backwater was recorded by Adam Pike (Red Fang), in Portland, OR at Toadhouse Studios and released in 2015. - https://www.facebook.com/ChronGoblin/http://www.chrongoblin.com/
